What are Fall Wedding Dresses?

Contrary to popular belief, there’s not just one right way to go about enjoying the fall season, and the same goes for fall wedding dresses!

Fall is SUCH an exciting time for brides to get married because the weather is dreamy and the changing of the seasons offers a beautiful backdrop. As we near October and spooky season launches in full force, maybe consider something a bit moodier! You have complete creative freedom to choose what’s important to have in your fall wedding dress.
